Xiaoxiao lay on the heated brick bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She felt an emptiness in her heart, a touch of loneliness creeping in.
She told herself it was just a matter of getting used to it, that things would be better tomorrow.
Groggily enduring until dawn, she got up with a pair of red eyes. It was Yang Ming's first day away, and she had gloriously suffered from insomnia.

"Someone from town is here. Hurry up and come out!"

"May I ask who you are?"
